Torch Tour in Landscape Park Duisburg-Nord: An Evening Between Fire, Steel, and History
When the Landscape Park Duisburg-Nord is shrouded in darkness, the former steelworks transforms into an impressive exploration experience. The torch tour takes visitors through a local scenario of steel, light, and industrial history, which makes the structural change of the Ruhr area immediately tangible. The tour is offered by Tour de Ruhr, a provider active since 1989 based in Landscape Park Duisburg-Nord. ([tour-de-ruhr.de](https://tour-de-ruhr.de/tour/offene-fackelfuehrung/))
Industrial Culture in Torchlight
During the walk, guests experience the nightly steelworks from a particularly intense perspective. The route leads past massive steel constructions, through foundry halls, and along old bunker pockets. Vivid stories are told about how hard the work in the former blast furnace plant was and what significance the site holds for the history of the Meidericher Ironworks.

Authentic History to Touch
The tour connects local history with sensory impressions: sparks, shadows, metal, and the striking backdrop of the industrial monument create an extraordinary atmosphere. The Landscape Park is now an internationally recognized example of successful transformation and a fixed anchor point of the Route of Industrial Culture.
